When I turned 30, I began incorporating face masks twice a week into my beauty routine. Last week, I turned 33 (I celebrated with a giveaway if  you want to enter!). So now I’m upping my face mask routine to three times a week. There are so many to choose from, and so many I love! In today’s post, I wanted to introduce you to three face mask ingredients I look for to target various skincare goals:

1. {EXFOLIATING} BROWN SUGAR

The grains in brown sugar make for a great exfoliant . There are a bunch of DIY masks you can create at home but the one I use is so affordable I prefer to just get a pre-made mask and keep my kitchen clean. I apply this Beauty 360 Brown Sugar & Pumpkin Mask for ten minutes then rinse off with lukewarm water for baby-soft skin. The pods come with lids, too, making them great for travel.

Growing up in Miami, I have way too much sun damage. If only I had listened to my mother about sunscreen! I’ve been told Vitamin C is helpful in brightening dull skin and rebuilding collagen so I try to incorporate it in many ways. One mask I’m loving right now that’s full of Vitamin C is Bliss mask-a-peel. It rubberizes and is so fun to peel off!

Cranberries are full of antioxidants, which is good for fighting aging. June Jacobs added pomegranate to the mix  for  a delicious smelling, soothing mask that I’ve also noticed helps with my redness.
